About this Event

Tales of the Hidalgo Pumphouse (THPH-Bilingual-Predominatley in English) by Lucio G.

Rivera & Pedro Garcia.

Synopsis

Luisito & Janie and their pals are teenagers in Hidalgo, Texas in the 1970′s. The boys are searching for the hidden treasure while the girls are writing a historical report, for school, about the old Pumphouse while practicing the ancient water dance in its honor.

The story is also about the parents and ancestors who worked and lived around the Pumphouse since it was built in 1908. The tale is laced with history, folktales and adventure including the creepy and sometimes funny characters such as, La Llorona/The Weeping Woman, La Lechuza/The White Owl, and El Hombre sin Cabeza/The Headless Man. Together the youth and adults, with the help from a magical Pirate named Hidalgo, save the Old Pumphouse from destruction as it becomes a historical museum. It still stands today in Hidalgo, TX.

Sinopsis en Español

Luisito, Janie y sus amigos son adolescentes en Hidalgo, Texas, durante la década de1970. Los chicos andan en busca de un tesoro oculto, mientras que las chicas preparan un informe histórico para la escuela sobre la antigua Casa de Bombas, al tiempo que ensayan la ancestral danza del agua en su honor.

La historia también narra la vida de los padres y antepasados que trabajaron y vivieron en los alrededores de la Casa de Bombas desde su construcción en 1908. El relato está entretejido con historia, leyendas populares y aventuras, e incluye personajes tanto inquietantes como, a veces, divertidos; cuentos como La Llorona, La Lechuza y El Hombre sin Cabeza. Juntos —jóvenes y adultos—, y con la ayuda de un pirata mágico llamado Hidalgo, logran salvar la antigua Casa de Bombas de su demolición, transformándola en un museo histórico. El edificio sigue en pie hoy en día en Hidalgo, Texas.
